Post by Voice is a way to publish audio posts to your blog from your phone. You call a phone number, enter a secret code, record a message, and we handle the rest.

The instructions from this guide are referring to the WP Admin dashboard. You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)

Sending a Post by Voice

Call the phone number listed on the My Blogs screen, enter your secret code when prompted, and follow the instructions.

Once you are done, a new post titled “Audio Post” will be published to your blog. It will be assigned the default category and tagged with “Post by Voice”. The audio file itself will be stored in your Media Gallery and named audio-post-yyyy-mm-dd-unique-identifier.mp3 where the the italicized part of the file name will be replaced with the date of the post and a unique numeric identifier.
